Grabbit
Hosted screenshot MCP for AI agents — POST a URL, get a pixel-perfect image. No local Chromium. Screenshot MCP at grabbit.live — not grabbit.sh (Reddit leads).

Documentation
Point your agent at a URL and get back a hosted image, with no local headless browser to run. Grabbit handles cookie and consent banners, JavaScript-heavy and full-page captures, and many sites that block a local browser.

Why a hosted screenshot tool
Most agents can already drive a headless browser. It works on simple pages and quietly fails on the ones that matter: cookie and consent walls, bot detection, login and paywall gates, and heavy client-rendered pages. Grabbit runs the capture on hosted infrastructure, so the shot comes back clean and the agent needs no browser of its own.
Honest bound: no service captures literally every site. A few hard targets behind aggressive IP blocking still resist. Private and internal addresses (including localhost) are blocked by SSRF protection.
Quick start
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http grabbit https://mcp.grabbit.live
Then run /mcp and authenticate in the browser (OAuth, no key to paste).
